Abstract

An enhanced multistage optically amplified passive optical network (PON) known as SuperPON is presently being investigated by the ACTS-PLANET consortium as a possible future solution for broadband access networks. As it is extremely probable that user bandwidth requirements will continue to increase substantially in the short to medium term it is highly pertinent to consider the upgradeability of SuperPON topologies. In this paper capacity upgrades in the wavelength, space and time domains for both the downstream and upstream directions are discussed with reference to a particular basic SuperPON.
